One thing I did not touch on in this video was pricing. The EQC starts at £74,330 which is a huge amount of money but right now you can save over 20k getting a pretty much new low miles used EQC.
Salary sacrifice was the best way I bought this car. After-tax I pay sub £500.
I hope they go bankrupt
@@benstagdospain what's the running cost on electric charge?
Ah finally someone has nullified my doubts and suspicion because I thought there must be a catch to the £26k EQC I saw on offer with rather low mileage. That depreciation is crazy!!!!
I’ve always loved an EQC. Nice video man. By the way, I want to take a moment to let you know that I notice all the effort you put into adding lovely editing touches (special effects etc) in this video which is really cool. Keep up this high standard… makes the video 2x better!
Thank you Joan, appreciate the nice comment. I really enjoyed the whole filming and editing process so I’m always trying to get the best shots and little touches possible, I’m still learning every video!
Great review. Thanks from a possible buyer of a EQC.
Great video mate, quality presenting
Thank you! Always fun to make these reviews. More to come!
good review, thanks
I have had my EQC for over a year. The car is a wonder to drive and I still smile driving it. The only thing I do not like is that breaking on bumps is not good because of the weight. Agree the handling is not brilliant but good for a heavy car
Your presentation is good
I've had the EQC for almost 2 years now, compared to other EVs it shows it's age now in terms of technologies, but considering it was Mercedes' first proper electric vehicle, I think they did a great job with it with a good split in everyday usability and fun power/acceleration. Now that the EQC isn't in production anymore I'm wondering how Mercedes is looking to supersede it, will there be a new EQC, or will a fully electric version of the GLC take it's place?
This is the first good-looking MB, but that's because it takes a ton of influence from the GLC (as you mentioned). I don't mind the EQS and EQE, but they REALLY need an exterior design overhaul. I've had the privilege to see both in person and they are very underwhelming. Great video btw!
Thanks, I have reviewed the EQE also and was underwhelmed by its looks at first then it started to grow on me a bit but I still don’t think it’s a great looking car. The design is mostly due to aerodynamics. The EQE interior is lovely though, just wish it was nicer looking from the outside!
I think generally MB cars don’t have exteriors that retain their appeal over time… BMW on the other hand build cars that exteriorly look great even after 10 years. TEST: go out there and observe a 2012 BMW and a 2012 MB, and you’ll see the difference. That being said, that HIGH from BMW is also their LOW, that is, their designs are pretty much similar with EVERY new release (except the coupe shaped ones they’re coming up with now), so one must ask whether they are actually lacking in creativity or not. One thing MB does better at though is Interior. They look stunning while BMWs for the most part just appear “meh”
very nice vid, though i think you meant 50kw instead of 5kw at 6:30
Thank you, Ah! Whoops yes sorry you are right I meant 50KW 🫢
Does it come with panoramic sunroof?
When my Samsung Tablet battery has only lasted 3 and a bit years, my wireless Corsair headphones has just packed up after 2 years, and many other devices especially phones last no time - i'm not going to shell out on a battery car until i have to, even though this is really nice and probably would be the go to car!
You don't have to worry about the battery, it has 8 years warranty and the battery has held great even in 230 000 km taxi use. 8.4% degradation.
For an ICE car, if your tank hold 70 liters, it will still hold 70 liters after no matter how long. Battery degrades over time. It’s like having a reduced volume of gas tank over the years. Unless and until we come up with a super awesome technology, I’m still holding onto my ICE cars. I don’t drive much compared to other regular daily commuters.
@@seya_eury The battery degredes by a few percent during the warranty period of the battery. It's a concern in only the very early cars with severely underpowered batteries from the factory.
As of today around 25k decent examples How do we measure life left? By miles by years by charging times
Good question!
I like this car a lot. But for me (When I had enough money) It will be a EQE
I just can’t see past the charge times when your out and about. Other than having to spend an hour waiting for a charge it’s nice enough
Don't own one but you don't have to fully charge it each time. Quick stop at the shop for 15 minutes gets you plenty enough charge. Basically whenever you stop, plug it in.
@@mitjaw Surely that’s going to affect the mileage of my life if i always have to think about plugging and charging every single time I hit the shop. I love my life and by that I mean I avoid stress everywhere I can haha
I am 194cm, (6’5”-ish) would I fit? How tall is the driver in the film? Thanks.
Hey I’m not sure but it felt very roomy for me. I’m 5”11.
Car just needed better range 350miles would have been have great. Other than that can't fault it. Hoping to get eqe suv
Agreed! The EQE SUV will be amazing!
250 miles range in a single charge is a bit weak at this price point. Have to double it up at least to be competitive among the Chinese brands in the market.
Yeah I agree it’s lagging behind a bit. This car is actually quite old now which is why they are selling the last batches on 0% finance. With the EQE doing ranges up to 500 I suspect a new EQC generation soon with a lot more range.
where is the spare tyre located
Unfortunately like most new Mercs no spare wheel is included. Just the usual tyre repair kit and run flats.
They should’ve given it the full screen dash from the EQS.
Would of been nice but this original design for this car came out before they developed it so maybe in a facelift or the next release it will have something closer to the hyper screen.
No they shouldn't. I hate looking at MacBookPro whilst driving. And at night it's dangerously irritating.
I have fallen in love with this car... but I am reminded, when you show the cool "find the nearest charging station" feature... that if our electrical infrastructure fails (solar storms etc.), you'd have a real problem finding 'gas' for that vehicle. You'd literally have to have a trailer with a diesel generator on it, to power the car, LOL ;-)
Is it just me, or do y'all see some GLS DNA at the rear?
GLC / yea
6:43 - WOW!!!! NOT REAL!!!!
Surely only someone being paid to, would describe the dash as 'nice'
What’s wrong with it? I personally like it I purchased two C classes over the years with the same curved dash and now own a CLA45s with the same dual screens so can back that up :) Appreciate taste is subjective but I think it’s a nice and easy to use design.
@@ABAUTOAMG I just think the display looks so out of place, like its just been mounted onto the dash as an afterthought. Cars that have the display built into the dash look so much better. I think they have done it like this to save costs. I also have a 2016 C class which I very much like, but again the ipad looking afterthought display is the worst thing about it. I agree it's subjective but this is my opinion.
Driving position like my granny
Fast off the line, but not enough top end speed!....also to expensive!
Where can you drive over 180km/h legally? Only a couple of countries and roads in the world.
I don't mind electric cars, but this whole EU idea of forcing me to give up my v6 AMG in exchange for a prone-to-burn-battery-on-wheels is just ridiculous.
@@hamodalbatal464 The beauty of freedom is you still can use horses.
@@hamodalbatal464 he’s talking about upcoming regulations. While now he may sound exaggerated, it’s in the near future when gas cars will be legally banned
they will be expensive, not illegal 👍
EV's are a lot less prone to combust than ICEs.
Not as good as the BMW IX ...
It’s rotten,a waste of money.
But why? All Tesla's out of stock when you had to buy? 🙄
no electric ever
